See scan. Non-postally used. AZO stamp box. Distortion from scanner. Sharp, clear, well realized view of "Balloon Race St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 21st, 1907, Roehlk Bros.,Temple Bldg.". On back of card reads "This is a actual photograph of the balloons just before the first one started. The view is toward the N. W. You can see the French flag flying from one of their balloons. 7 of the balloons can be seen out of the nine starters. You can also see the jam of people just beyond the tents and this side of the balloons. The big tent was used to house one of the airships which sailed the next day. You can get an idea of the size of the balloons from the fact that the big tent is 25' to 30' high and about 2/3 to 3/4 of the distance from the balloons to the camera is on this side of the tent. I did not see the race, but was out the day before on Sunday. All were getting ready then."
